YouTube Description
as posted by the channelEach year, thousands of migrants die crossing the Mediterranean Sea trying to enter Europe, largely through unofficial channels.

The PBS NewsHour's Nicole Ellis spoke with Urbina and Médecins Sans Frontières, or Doctors Without Borders' search and rescue representative, Juan Matias Gil, about the harrowing journey many migrants face.
